Abstract :
Application of OOP concepts and the C++ programming language to power system simulation has been explored. An efficient platform for power system simulation applications has been proposed. By emulating a physical power laboratory, a generic power network container has been built. A module, which can be used to solve sparse matrix equations of any data types, has been implemented. Two load flow applications, a DC load flow and an AC load flow, have been discussed. It is found that OOP based C++ load flow programs are as efficient as their nonOOP counterparts
